I needed some tongs for the grill, so I grabbed some oak and glued 3 pieces together, rounded them over a bit, rasped some grooves, and there you have it. They are 17×3/4×2.5, and they just fit in the kitchen drawer. Finished with sesame seed oil.

Last weekend, I was looking for a quick little project to fill in some time, while I was waiting for glue to dry on my little cherry box. I've been meaning to make this pair of tongs, from an older Wood magazine project for some time. I grabbed a piece of nice straight grained oak, I'd rescued...

The Wood Buddies have various family members who pride themselves on grilling. After a friend showed us a meat tong he made we obtained permission to copy and produce a series of these tongs for Christmas presents. By a series of cuts on one end of each tong side we were able to create a tong...

It seems customers always ask for things you don't have. This lady asked for a pair of tongs for hot things in the toaster. I told her I'd make them from Osage orange because it is a springy wood that the Indians made their bows out of. So I found a block or Osage orange and it was big enough to...

I got a new 14" Bandsaw for my birthday, so my wife said I had to be productive with it for CHRISTmas. I had seen a pair of Salad Tongs made on "Woodworking for Mere Mortals" (SteveinMarin). I made a prototype with a few changes from Steve's out of some clear white colored Poplar, which were a...

I've seen simmilar tongs around the net & we needed a new set for home so after one aborted prototype I came up with this design. They worked so well I made a few more sets in Cherry, Maple and Walnut. They are all about 12" long by 2". For the hinge pin I used a length of heavy gauge bare...

Nice and easy project. Good use for scraps. I think I got the idea from a magazine a while ago. You need to watch the thickness as they get hard to pinch if too thick.

Have you ever burnt your fingers, used a knife, a fork or turned upside down a toaster in order to get out 1) a piece of toast, 2) a Toaster Strudel, 3) an English Muffin or 4) something flaming out of your toaster. A solution. My wife is going to visit her mother this week and she asked me if...
